Zandra
Meaning of Zandra
Zandra is a feminine given name that originated as a concise offshoot of Alexandra, itself rooted in the ancient Greek Alexandros meaning “defender of men.” Pronounced ZAN-druh (/ˈzæn.drə/), it first appeared in English usage during the mid-20th century and has maintained a modest but consistent presence in the United States ever since—peaking in the mid-1940s and again in the 1970s before settling around the lower reaches of the top 1,000 names in recent years. It conveys a blend of strength and approachability—few expect its diminutive form to carry royal weight—while its streamlined sound gives it a modern, unpretentious appeal. Among its notable bearers, British fashion designer Zandra Rhodes brought the name into the creative spotlight, reinforcing its association with originality and style.
